I took the last couple of weeks off to reconnect with stripers on the delta since fishing on the American was less than stellar. I fished the American this week and found some steel. Monday I landed a half pounder and about a 4 or 5 pounder. Today I landed two wild half pounders and about a 6 pound hatchery hen. They were all quite acrobatic and in fast, deepish water. I was swinging with my spey rod with sink tips ending with my, U Name It, streamer. One half pounder came on a soft hackle. This has been a tough winter, having only hooked 7 adults on the streamer. I love how they don't fu##### around with that baitfish fly and annihilate it!!! There are some fish out there, guys and gals. Put in your time, you might just get out of jail.
